Fast and very friendly service, the sushi was awesome and their specialty rolls were impressively presented. Will definitely visit again I find myself back in Harrisonburg! read more

WARNING! New Owner, new 'Cook'. Dirty deep fryer, you can get better rolls at a grocery store. Eat RAW food here at your Peril! Cooked fish rolls are likely made from old sushi bar fish past it's prime. I'm so grossed out. read more

Called in a sushi order for pickup and it was ready in 10 minutes! The sushi was fresh and delicious! Will come back again.

Excellent! I've been eating sushi for years, all over the world. What you get for the price is great! Fish was very fresh and the service was flawless. Overall an awesome experience. I will definitely come back and highly recommend to anyone who wants high quality food for a reasonable price read more

I don't know where to start the sushi is great, have eaten here numerous times and have never been disappointed with the sushi or sashimi, the waitress is wonderful and always takes care of us, Lee the sushi chef has been down the road with his sushi rolls, always something new to try, did try a fried sushi roll last week and I have to say it was very good, the prices are inline with other fine sushi bars I have been to, remember you pay for what you get , you want good sushi here in the burg try sushi Jakos and you won't be disappointed read more

Sushi at Cafe Jako are the best sushi I've eaten in a while. I especially recommend Tuna Outlet roll - the fish was very fresh and the combination was just amazing. The service was good too. The place was clean and kid friendly. My husband and I are definitely planning on returning! read more

Sushi Jako - Tuna outlet is in the middle:) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

Our go to restaurant in Harrisonburg. Lee is wonderful and so are the servers. I'm dairy free and he is so cautious to change gloves and use a clean knife. Price is expected for sushi but is so worth it. Spicy Tuna is a must. Highly recommend the Green Dragon or the Fire Roll. Sunomono salad is delish too! One sushi chef so there might be a wait. read more

We came in about 30 minutes before they were supposed to close but they graciously welcomed us in!! We were served the miso soup and salad and both were incredibly fresh!! We ordered the edamame as an appetizer and it was amazing!! I ordered the California roll and spicy tuna and my husband ordered two orders of the spicy tuna. Literally some of the best sushi we've ever had!!! The service was amazing and super attentive. And even when it took longer than expected because they had a huge order before ours, they even brought us out a second order of edamame for free!!! Highly recommend this place!!! read more

below average... coming from NoVa this sushi is below average. back home you'd get better sushi for much cheaper. three stars is generous but rightfully granted considering the location. sashimi was barely defrosted with many ice particles. not coming back bc the price isn't worth it. sushi to rice ratio: little heavy on the rice but not horrible 2.5/5 fish: frozen 2/5 taste: 3/5 price: for what your getting, it's not worth it overall, top few in the area but don't get your hopes up either tuna and salmon are one step below wegmans sushi when wegmans is having a good day ... it's really comparable to what you'd find in the sushi section grocery store in nova read more

My fiancé and I really love a good sushi experience. Lee and his staff offer that and more. The food is prepared expertly and the service has always been exceptional. There is definitely not a better sushi experience in Harrisonburg. With option for dine in and take out, we recommend sitting at the bar and chatting with Lee. He's a super nice guy. If you like spicy, try the Bang Bang special roll with fresh jalapeños. Guaranteed to break a sweat. :) Their seaweed salad is amazing and the ginger dressing on the house salad is perfect. My fiancé loves the bibimbop. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and service are all top notch! read more

Great sushi and excellent service. GREEN Dragon roll was amazing. Definitely recommend this place.

This is my second time here. You cannot beat the quality of food and service for the price of the meal. The sushi is prepared right before your eyes and is very fresh. I am from Pennsylvania via Washington D.C. and I appreciate quality sushi. read more

It's my favorite sushi spot. It's clean. Staff is friendly. Food is outstanding and most of all it's not expensive! :)

This was such an amazing place to order sushi from. You can really tell they put a lot of time into making the rolls look beautiful and they taste amazing! I would definitely revisit this place. read more

Sushi jako is our favorite restaurant and hands down the best sushi in the area. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Very reasonable lunch menu. The owner is awesome. Love the daily specials. read more

My daughter and I just got a few rolls and some yaki soba to go and it was awesome. The green dragon roll tastes great. The staff was super friendly. We have had sushi everywhere in Harrisonburg and I have to say they are the best. We will be going back soon! read more

Grest sushi. Great prices. Service was a little low but food made up for it.

I was a little leery of this hidden sushi spot in Harrisonburg, but we had a very nice lunch. Generous portions of sashimi served in an appealing manner. Service excellent, and other clientele were returnees. I would definitely return myself. read more

Meh. The service was OK, but the sushi could have been better. I was served a combo set with tuna that looked less than fresh, if you catch my drift. Maybe I caught them at a bad time? The rest of the meal was average. I've had much better elsewhere in town. read more

Great Sushi. They are small but do a great job every time we stop in!! Love the rainbow roll!!

Absolutely amazing! The sushi is so fresh and delicious. We had a variety of rolls and were extremely impressed with them all. Also, the seaweed salad was tasty! The servers were extremely kind and helpful. I will definitely be returning. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves excellent sushi, great service and a comfortable atmosphere. read more

My favorite place in town! I go there often (usually at lunch) and always experience great service and the sushi is the best in town (I have tried them all). Recommend the Sunny Roll. read more

Best sushi I've had; super fresh and accommodating for my imitation crab allergy! Prices are really low for such great quality.

Stayed in Harrisonburg while traveling and decided on Sushi Jako. As someone who eats sushi 2-3 times a week all over the state I'd like to think of myself as a good judge of hole in the wall Sushi joints. That said, I wasn't impressed with Sushi Jako primarily due to the higher prices for smaller portions. The quality was good but not so good that the price reflected the quantity. Usually miso, tuna roll, shrimp tempura roll and 2 pieces of sashimi would be more than enough to fill my 175 lb body but after eating I had to grab a salad from the hotel as I was still hungry. Again, food was good but I won't be going back due to price/quantity ratio. read more

By far the best place in town for quality sushi and creative rolls. The new owner Lee is very kind and generous and delivers consistently delicious sushi at good prices with daily specials in addition. If you have a member in your group not interested in sushi have them try the Korean BBQ, it's excellent. And don't miss out on the extremely well priced lunch specials. read more

Today a tries a 20 dollas fancy eel plate and it worth every cent, beast meal i ever have in Harrisonburg so far, and the service so nice, they gave us edamame and little desert for free. I Really recommend the place I just feel happy after eat their food! read more

The sushi chef here is so nice! He once brought my to go order out to my car so I wouldn't have to lug my baby inside just because he knew I had an infant. It's definitely the best sushi in town! The atmosphere is great too very light simplistic & relaxing. Love this place! read more

Came in tonite and as always great food and wonderful serves. Staff are extremely friendly. I would have to recommend the Tuna Lover and the Tako. read more

Just finished a fantastic meal of sushi rolls loaded with gorgeous fish. They each had more fish than rice! Some of the best I have ever had. We had a Korean dish of bulgogi which was awesome as well. Really nice menu with Korean and Japanese dishes. But oh! That sushi was divine! Our server, Shelly, was fantastic! read more

Pretty good sushi and Korean, the only thing that wasn't that good was the shrimp teriyaki (small portion, and I've never seen breaded fried shrimp served like that). Good service, very friendly. Nothing special but not disappointing either. read more

Really enjoyed freshness of sushi. Sushi were thick and they wrapped up rice as they should; especially the sushi rolls very well made. Service tends to be on slow side but luckily I wasn't in a hurry. The rice, which is an important part of the sushi, was cooked just right; wasn't mush like some other restaurants. read more

Very unassuming storefront had amazing sushi! Great food, great service. We will definitely be back here the next time we are in Harrisonburg. read more

Overall great sushi restaurant!!! The atmosphere is quiet and inviting. The hosts are very welcoming and immediately greet you. They give you water right away and ask for your drink. The sushi, sashimi and nigiri choices are vast. They are very accommodating with specific requests with regards to your meals. It comes out to you very quickly for a gourmet sushi place! The food is AWESOME! The miso soup and salad appetizer is very good. The fish is very fresh and prepared very well! The rice is just enough and they give generous amounts of wasabi and ginger! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!! read more

My top choice for sushi in the Harrisonburg area. Service is pleasant, but I wouldn't expect to run in and out quickly- which is to be expected with hand-rolled sushi, especially on busy nights. The food is worth the wait. Pricier than other places in town, but I believe the superior quality is worth the money. read more

first of all, the old owner was way better. too bad he had to go back to korea. with the old management, food looked better and tasted better. also, the quality of service dropped ever since the new owner took over. i live in pennsylvania and my girlfriend goes to JMU so i only get to go there once every 2 months or even longer. everytime he sees me, he makes inappropriate comments such as "you don't have a time to go on diet?". its just something that you NEVER say to a customer. i will never go back there ever again. i think i would rather eat food from JMU dining and have a diarrhea the next day. read more

Sushi Jakob has a nice decor and the service was good. We had read good reviews about the sushi, but I opted for the shrimp tempura appetizer. If you enjoy the light, crispy batter of traditional tempura do not order it here. The shrimp is basically just regular deep fried shrimp. A different heavy batter was used on the vegetables...very disappointing. My husbands Yaki soba was just OK. It did not seem to have been stir fried in a traditional manner...more like boiled noodles and vegetables with the sauce added on top of everything after the fact. The salad and dressing were good. The miso soup tasted fine but would have been better with some scallions and bits of tofu. Maybe if you go, stick to the sushi. read more
